This blog gives a view of yoga from a student’s point of view. That’s me! I have been teaching since 2012 but always a student. I love being part of the yoga world and continually learning.

I write about the top teachers, the yoga shows and festivals, the studios and workshops, and the promise of yoga’s self discovery. In this blog I include retreat information, workshop recommendations and Yoga In The News.

In my Home Studio I have the Feet Up Stool to help with headstands/inversions without putting the head on the floor. It is loved by people who are hesitant about going upside-down. (Come and try! Last night one yogi felt euphoric after her first try.). You may remember that I bought the LOVE MAT by Lāalfrom the yoga show after the Peruvian stall owner asked if my studio had a shop! Not really, but this is my first stock. They’re a sturdy, cheaper alternative to the Liforme mat at £55. Then you’ll need a bag! There are some really nice yoga mat bags from yogabliss.co.uk.

Vata, Pitta, Kapha types all came to my lucky home studio, putting their best sitting-bone forward. All are welcome! Yoga is a chance to dance our way out of our constrictions. (Funkadelic just came on the radio!) There are spaces left next week, the run-up to Christmas. There aren’t any classes in the following week and classes are back on Tuesday 2nd January. (Please don’t book and cancel at the last minute, denying the space to others.)

I’ve been meaning to say for a while that I’m amazed you manage to create such fresh, interesting and varied blogs week after week for years now. Thank you.

I can honestly say there have been weeks when your Friday Email has been the only sparkle of light

You are truly a yoga poet! Great newsletter, which I’ve just enjoyed over a coffee. Thanks for all the work you put into it and your inspiring language.

This is beautiful writing.

I still can’t tell you how much I love these emails each week; they are food and thought for the soul.

After a year I am still only scratching the surface of yoga. Keep enlightening me!

Love these updates. Thanks for making Friday mornings so good. 

You always manage to ace with your emails on Fridays but today was just awesome.

Your Friday emails are an inspiration. Not even these well organised yoga centres provide a weekly educational and insightful piece on yoga benefits as you do. You should put them all together and write a book
